Asymptotic behavior of Shannon functions for the delays of schemes of functional elements

The behavior of Shannon functions for delays in the class of schemes of functional elements constructed over an arbitrary finite complete basis is studied. The case in which every basis element can have positive as well as zero delay is considered in this note. It is established that in this case the Shannon functions for delays asymptotically behave either as linear functions or as logarithmic functions or, starting from a certain number of arguments, remain constant.
